Electrothermal Simulation – holistic analysis of electrical components

Electrothermal Simulation – holistic analysis of electrical components

Components carrying electrical current are exposed to complex requirements: electrical, thermal, and mechanical effects act simultaneously. With our electrothermal simulations, we assess and optimize these components in operation – from current-carrying capacity and heat dissipation to mechanical durability.

Our service portfolio:

- Electrical simulation – evaluation of current-carrying capacity and optimization of current flow (steady-state and transient)

- Electrothermal simulation – simulation and optimization of temperature fields under realistic electrical and thermal boundary conditions, including specific load profiles

- Flow simulation (CFD) – analysis of natural and forced convection to realistically model cooling mechanisms

- Mechanical simulation – assessment of thermomechanical loads and fatigue strength (HCF, LCF, vibration loads, PSD analyses, thermal shocks)

- Assembly process analysis – evaluation of stresses during processes such as welding or handling to ensure structural integrity

- Optimization of thermal response times – improvement of sensor applications through detailed analysis of thermal dynamics

- Parameter studies – systematic variation of influencing factors to identify optimization potential

Your benefits:

- Holistic assessment of electrical, thermal, and mechanical aspects

- Realistic analysis of loads and operating conditions

- Improved performance, reliability, and service life of your components

- Optimized design, functionality, and safety
